"How can they do that?" Makoto frowned.


    "Arkhen, what to do?" Dionne asked, anger brimming in her eyes. "We are too weak to help but Arkhen, you can do it, right? Teacher Az has been so nice to us and cares for everyone, but this academy still does such a disgusting thing."


    "Seriously, I didn''t expect they would do such a thing," Ellie said while gritting her teeth. "Why would the academy pressure you? Shouldn''t they support teacher Az instead?"


    "Although some people in the council disagreed majority still wanted the support of that n, so they agreed," Az said with tears streaming from her eyes. "My life…They just decided on it themselves."


    "What were you nning to do?" Arkhen asked as he looked at Az with a piercing and severe gaze.


    "I was…I was going to take my life rather than my life bing a toy for that disgusting bastard and benefit this academy," Az said with despair and anger in her eyes. "Why should I give in and let them benefit from doing this to me? I would rather die!"


    Arkhen tightly hugged Az as she broke downpletely after venting.


    Az sobbed in despair. She was under pressure for the past three days and today was the deadline given to her. They told her to get ready as they wille to pick her up tomorrow.


    "Don''t worry, I can solve this trouble," Arkhen softly said with a cold glint in his eyes. ''I guess I will make my entrance with that n.''


    Az was sobbing on Arkhen''s shoulder, but Arkhen''s confident words filled her with hope. "Really?" she asked as separated and looked at Arkhen with her messy and tear-strained face.


    Makoto, Dionne, and Ellie also walked toward Az and hugged her. "Since Arkhen said so, then he can do it."


    "Yep. He will solve your trouble for sure."


    "Just tell us the name of that n."


    Az felt warm and hopeful as the girls hugged her and consoled her.


    "Tell me the name of that n," Arkhen nodded with a domineering grin. "I will wipe their name off this, not tomorrow nor after a month. But today!"


    "They are the Eldian n. Their n base is located in a mountainous region in Germany, the Bavarian Alps," Az said after wiping tears from her face. She was really hopeful now after hearing the confident words of Arkhen and the assurance of the girls.


    "Got it," Arkhen nodded with an icy glint in his eyes. ''One more to the list. Well, since this is a single n, I''ll my the entrance with them as a target today.''


    "I will personally take you there, so you can see that disgusting old man and every red dot of that n turning ashes," Arkhen said.


    "Red dot?" Az asked in confusion.


    "That''s just my way of addressing trash that I need to clean and send them to hell," Arkhen said with a grin as he put his hand on Az''s head. "Just rx and wait. Once we absorb the benefit of this crystal badge, we will go to my new resident and then solve your trouble."


    ''Velshi, influence.''


    Az looked at Arkhen and didn''t know how to describe her feeling. Taking a deep breath, she looked solemnly at Arkhen. "If you can solve this trouble, I will do whatever you want me to do. The life that I was going to throw away will belong to you."


    Seeing her like that, Arkhen shook his head and kissed her forehead gently. "Az, you took the decision to kill yourself because others decided your life. Your freedom was going to turn into prison and you couldn''t live your life however you wanted, right? If that''s the case, then why do you want to give your life to me to decide?"


    The girls and Az were dazed as they looked at Arkhen.


    Arkhen gently touched Az''s cheeks and kissed her on her forehead. "I will solve your trouble so you can live your life however you want. I want you back to your radiant and cheerful self."


    An indescribable feeling welled up in Az''s heart as she looked at his reassured and gentle smile of Arkhen. Her heart started beating wildly, while a faint blush formed on her cheeks. ''T-This… What is going on? Don''t tell me I just fell for Arkhen?''


    "Let''s go, girls. We have to make sure that we absorb the highest amount of benefit we can reap from those trial pools," Arkhen said before he turned to Az. "Rx and stop worrying. For now, you should take some rest in the infirmary. Go."


    Az meekly nodded, trying her best to hide her blush. "Ok… I-I will go and take some rest."


    After saying that, she rushed out of the ssroom.


    "Arkhen, it seems that you are nning to add her to the harem," Makoto said with a grin.


    "Ahem, I had decided to add her before you three," Arkhen said with augh. "But you three were easy targets, so I got you first."


    Ellie wrapped her arms around Arkhen and kissed him while hugging him tightly before saying, "we can only say thank you for that, hahaha." Ellie''s pearl-likeughter rang happily.


    "Yep," Dionne said as she chuckled, "We didn''t have to wait long to be your woman, unlike teacher Az. Anyway, you areing to our house tonight, right? Actually, you should bring Ellie and me to Makoto''s ce so we can enjoy together, hehe. Her mother is mostly busy, anyway."


    "Haha, alright!" Arkhen said as he pped Makoto''s butt. "I will bring Ellie and Dionne to your bedroom at around 9 PM. Get ready."


    s, they didn''t know that things were going to escte tonight.


    …


    After two minutes, Arkhen, Ellie, Makoto, and Dionne arrived at the trial pool area while flying on Arkhen''s force-field. He also called Zoe and Evelyn and found out that they were also at the trial pool.


    Six of them met up at the pool area and entered together after handing over their crystal badges at the entrance of this gigantic transparent ss dome filled with at least one hundred pools, each one being only four square meters in size.
